United Kingdom

Pray for our Scripture Readers, Headquarters staff and SASRA supporters as they start 2026. May they seek the Lord in all that they do to help bring the gospel ‘behind the wire’ to Army and RAF personnel this year. May the Lord sustain the Association in 2026, through supporter prayer, volunteering and funding, so that we can reach more troops with the gospel. May the Lord prepare the hearts of serving personnel at the start of this new year.

God is currently doing an amazing work across the Western church over the past few years, as there has been a significant increase in the number of people coming to Christ, especially among the younger generations. As Navigators UK we feel called to help this wave of new Jesus followers to continue to journey with him long onto the future and to help others around then to do the same. With that in mind, we are currently developing an online video resource focused on jump starting the relational heart behind making disciples - it is called The Alongsider Course!

'Please pray for the United Kingdom and for the wide-open doors for a work for Al Massira. From London to Cardiff, Wolverhampton to Glasgow, Belfast to Nottingham, Devon to Bristol, AM has been given opportunities to share the ‘Al Massira Experience’ online trainings, as well as Al Massira/The Journey being used by the Church amongst seeking friends. The harvest is plentiful! Please pray for labourers to serve with us in AM, thanking our LORD for faithful UK-based lead trainers, trainers and for the international AM office based in South Wales.

Pray for 2:19 Teach to Reach, supporting UK churches in welcoming the nations locally through English conversation classes/cafés and providing quality teaching and Bible materials for learners.

Please continue to pray for our new Bible study course ‘Understanding Mission’, written by Chris Wright. Pray that it will spur church leaders across the UK and Ireland in particular to truly understand God’s mission and our part in it. Please pray for the upcoming online global launch event on 8th September; that many would be drawn to come along and be inspired to run the course in their churches and be inspired about God's mission in the world and want to participate!

Give thanks that soldiers and aviators serving in our Armed Forces are open to hearing more about Christ. As SASRA Scripture Readers scatter the seed of the gospel, pray it would fall on good soil.
